I think that these were great as an appetizer. I halfed the recipe and they came out great made sure not to over cook and hoped the power wouldn't go out while I was cooking cause of Hurricane Sandy. Everyone loved them but I didn't use all the cheese. I didn't have parsley so I just skipped it i needed more olive oil when I tossed them. Definitely will make these again.

These were good but
I thought they were
a little too thin
and crisp. I like a
more chubby, chewy
garlic knot. I even
took them out after
18 minutes. I'm sure
I'll do them again,
I'll just cut them
in fatter, shorter
strips and check
them after 15
minutes. I might
also take the advice
of one reviewer
below who suggests
adding a little bit
more flavor by
adding oregano to
the mix. Still - you
can't really mess
these up. And it's
true that they go like
hot cakes. I made
them for a dip-off party
and even on a table crammed full of
yummy things, this
might have been the
one thing that was
almost all gone by
the end of the party.

Super easy and fun to eat. I'd planned to make them for a party, but never got around to it. The oiled dough ended up sitting in a covered bowl on my counter for about 36 hours before I came across it. I'd last looked at it the previous day, right before the party, after it had sat out for the 6 hours recommended on the package. At that point, it looked pretty much the same as when I'd taken it out of the freezer, but at 36 hours, it had doubled in size and was giving off a lovely yeasty smell, so I decided to go ahead and make the knots anyway. The recipe works very well and they were yummy, but I have a few suggestions: add some red pepper flakes and dried oregano to your oil for an added kick, make sure your cheese is very finely ground, and don't try to cut 15 strips out of half of the divided dough -- it'll go much faster and you'll probably have more evenly sized knots if you keep dividing each piece in half until you have 16 strips. There's enough dough for that -- and not just because mine doubled in size! It collapsed again when I removed it from the bowl.

The hardest part about this recipe is finding the pizza dough (only one store in the DC area seems to carry it, although one can also buy dough at Bertucci's, if you didn't know that already). I made these for a party and they went like hotcakes.

Very simple recipe and delicious outcome! Only thing I would recommend is airing on the lighter side with the garlic, or separating the garlic mixture into two parts and coating the knots once. Do a taste test than add more if needed!
